As the Hill Wine  Company liquidation winds down to its last hurrahs, the various criminal and civil lawsuits against the company and its founder, Jeff Hill, are gearing up again after having been stayed by the bankruptcy court.

As part of that, Hill pleaded not guilty last week to grand theft charges which allege that he stole $50,000 worth of grapes from David Paul Del Dotto. That allegation was among a long list of charges and court suits reported by Wine Industry Insight  Sept. 26 2014 (Hill Wine Co: The Pink Bunny Of Wine Financial Disasters).
